I’ve only watched half of season 7 so far, but it’s felt better than last season to me. I still think season 1 was the best, and everything since then has been a downgrade.

You kind of have to take it for what it is, and not expect a true docu-series. It’s not really targeted at people who watch every race and follow the media circus. Like sure, you get stuff like the inexplicable Russell episode where they failed to mention his DSQ in Spa, or the narrative that F1 results are determined by the mood of the driver more than anything else and Norris is some kind of party playboy throwing away his chances early last year (when in reality the car just wasn’t good enough until Miami).

But you also get some actual behind the scenes footage and interview material that is interesting even for F1 fans, and the episodes detailing Sainz contract situation and Leclerc and Monaco for example were genuinely good I thought.
